ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (February 5, 2015) – IHS Inc. (NYSE: IHS), a leading global source of critical information and insight, today announced it has acquired Rushmore Reviews, a Scotland-based company that provides premium, subscription-based service for drilling and completions benchmarking solutions in the oil and gas industry.

Established in 1989, Rushmore is the premier provider of quality-controlled offset well data services to exploration and production operators. It maintains a database of 70,000 proprietary wells coverage for onshore and offshore drilling globally.

Rushmore provides a high-quality set of reliable, managed information that participating operators use to measure comparative well performance, set performance targets and support budgeting processes.
